(Parks Victoria released a photo on December 20, which shows a dinosaur footprint after it was damaged by vandals at Flat Rocks near Melbourne)
Vandals used a hammer to smash a 115-million-year-old three-toed dinosaur footprint in a national park in Australia. Park rangers at the Bunurong Marine Park discovered the damage to the theropod footprint while taking a school group on a tour.
The one-foot wide print was found in 2006 and deliberately left in place to allow visitors to see it in its natural state in one of the world’s few ice-age dinosaur sites.
"It is so disappointing,” Parks Victoria ranger Brian Martin told ABC News.
“It's a popular, significant site. The rock there is reasonably hard so it looks like it's been hit with a hammer and pieces of the rock around the edge of the footprint have been broken away.”
The identity of the culprits and the possible motive remain unknown, but it appears the vandals were familiar with the footprint.
“For someone to damage it intentionally, you'd have to have a rough idea of where it is because seaweed grows on the rock platform and it looks like a normal rock until you look closely and see the outline of the footprint," Mr Martin said.
(The footprint before it was smashed)
Broken fragments of the print were found on the surrounding rock platform in which it is embedded.
Palaeontologists made a silicon rubber mould of the print after it was discovered. It is hoped that technicians will be able to restore the print.
The national park, east of Melbourne, was once roamed by at least six different types of carnivorous dinosaurs.

please tell me you are not one of those who believe that the Earth is only a few thousand years old...
God made this world millions of “our” years ago.
that;s actually really nasty of you
How so? I find your comment genuinely puzzling. What's "really nasty" about characterizing pseudoscience as nonsense?

A whopping 3 (count them, 3) results...none of which discussed lizards.
Now what?
I didn't assert the existence of this oh-so-elusive lizard. It's not my job to document its existence.
Please provide the links to the physical evidence you suggest
.
Please do yopur own research!
I have little patience with empty-headed unbelievers, and poorly read scoffers.
FR is chiefly for functional activists.

I will waste little time with the willfully uninformed!
Yehova made the Creation 6017 years ago, just as his word tells us.
Learn to read the geneologies and get yourself up to speed, or just don’t post your foolishness.
It is a fascinating history that many of those *skywalkers* were Mohawk Indians.

There are only 5 rotational days recorded in the word before man was created.
The universe was created to bring Yeshua’s bride to the sea of glass mingled with fire at the last Trump in 6024. (2024 by the Roman Calendar)
After that it has 1000 years left before it is uncreated in a moment, with a loud noise and fervent heat.

Probably a 2000 year old print at most.
Could easily be 100 year old.
Australia had dinosaurs roaming around in 1917?
It's your job to lift yourself up and make an attemptto educate yourself, especially when you profess such abject ignorance.
God, what an ignoramus. Enjoy you life of unrepentant stupidity.
Have a nice day!
So, to recap:
"There is a species of lizard which has shrunk in body mass by 98% over the last few thousand years."
"Really? Never heard of it."
"Try Google."
"Google hasn't heard of it either."
"Try the library. You have heard of libraries?"
"Why should I? I'm not the one who asserted the existence of this mythical lizard."
"You're stupid and ignorant. Toodles!"
BS. You post an opinion without any factual evidence to support your BS, and then insult me.
Post the research that supports your BS
Show me the link to the physical evidence
His word says no such thing. Sorry, hate to inform the willingly ignorant.
You have probably already figured this out, but it is a supreme waste of your time responding to most of the nonsensical posts on these sorts of threads. I think they enjoy clogging things up... I gave up years ago.
